Overall, a great stay and perfect for families. Located within a 5-minute walk from King Fahd gate. The hotel is modern, clean and the staff provided a great service. The service at breakfast was fantastic - the chef who made pancakes and omelettes was engaging and friendly. The cleaners, Aashiq and Ismail, were exceptional, friendly and very helpful. I agree with other guests that the rooms were a little tight, but they had all the amenities and were very clean.

Check in was smooth. Wifi very poor in the rooms but decent in public areas. Rooms are okay when it comes to cleanliness but sometimes the sheets can have hair on them so double check before u use them. They definitely need to update their electric equipment such as hair dryers, freezers, coffee machines etc; they look old and the hair dryer doesn't even work. Staff are nice and polite. The hotel is located in a very walkable area you have everything you need around you. Overall 6/10.

⸻ Address Jabal Omar is a new hotel, but unfortunately the customer service is very poor. Even after the drop-off by the Jabal Omar shuttle bus, the hotel is not within the Haram area, and you still have to walk about 10–12 minutes to reach the Masjid. This might be manageable for young people, but ...
